We understand that the summer of 2020 is a difficult, disruptive time and that many of the usual professional development opportunities such as internships are unavailable. This page includes resources to help you develop your professional skills this summer, if you would like to do so. 

Of course, we understand that you might have other obligations this summer or other challenges that might prevent you from using these resources.
